Connection Very Weak on iPhone, Mobile Devices

What FW version are you using?

Latest firmware. Neighbours on both sides. Chose best channel based on wifi analysis. The issue seems to be only with iOS devices.
I’m now trying the transmission power at 25% for 2.4Ghz and 100% for 5Ghz.

We will see but these Orbi’s are really testing my patience.

No improvement. What next?
